A look at a nearby star, Kappa 1 Ceti, may provide some clues about what our Sun was like when it was young. Kappa 1 Ceti is about the same as age as our Sun was when life developed on Earth. It also has a similar mass and surface temperature as our Sun. SETI Institute heliophyscist Meng Jin is studying the stellar winds on this Sun-like star to see what we might learn about how they could have impacted the atmosphere and chemistry that led to the formation of life on Earth.
